Dammit

Common card · No. 287811

"Dammit" (sometimes subtitled "Growing Up") is a song by American rock band Blink-182, released in September 1997, as the second single from the group's second studio album, Dude Ranch (1997). Written by bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Scott Raynor, the song examines frustration and vulnerability in adolescent breakups. Its simple four-chord guitar riff, brisk tempo, and direct, relatable lyrics exemplify the band's early skate punk style. It was produced by Mark Trombino. Hoppus wrote "Dammit" in a burst of inspiration around a fictional breakup narrative, making it an exception among the band's early songs, which were often drawn from personal experience. Hoppus built the song around a familiar chord progression, but conceived its signature intro while experimenting on an acoustic guitar missing two strings. Its accompanying music video, directed by Ken Daurio and Darren Doane, increased the band's exposure, as did its inclusion in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait...
